[Verse] Two brothers born under the same sky so wide Dominic and Herbert marching side by side In the boots of the brave through the war-torn night The 82nd flying where the eagles take flight [Chorus] Brothers in the sky with their parachutes tight They dove into the dark like a star's faint light Through the chaos and the fire they stood as one Dominic and Herbert till the war was done [Verse 2] Cigarettes and letters tucked in their gear With a world to save drowning in fear The 505th sang their battle hymn Dominic and Herbert with a future so slim [Chorus] Brothers in the sky with their parachutes tight They dove into the dark like a star's faint light Through the chaos and the fire they stood as one Dominic and Herbert till the war was done [Bridge] Through Normandy fields and Holland's cold rains Every step they took carried freedom's strain Death whispered loud but their bond held fast In each other's eyes their memories cast [Verse 3] When the guns went silent and skies grew blue Two brothers remained where once only a few Dominic and Herbert Their war not in vain Heroes to the end They eased the world's pain
